Connecting MD to Mixing Desk

[whiskybob]

Hi All'

Been some time since I was around these parts.

I've been asked to record a band using my Sony MZ-NH700 and my Greenmachine mics rigged up to

the mixing desk.

Can anyone give me advice on what cables need to be connected to which Output/inputs etc.

Looking forward to some sound advice

David.

Hi David,

If you are going into the mixer, all you need is a 1/8" male to two RCA jack connector. you put the RCA into the mixer, and the 1/8 to your line in/mic jack, set levels, and bob's your uncle. Done it lots with my NH1 and 707, works real well.

If you want more crowd noise you are better off with mics, but a mixer will give you a better recording.

Have fun

Bob

Much appreciated, I assume that all other settings are the same as if you were using external mics.

I'll be plugging into Line In and using Manual rec levels, are there any observations regarding setting levels when rigged up to the desk or just the same as stealth recordings with external mics?

Thanks Again

Hi David,

Try not to have the levels get too positive, ) to - 1 or -2 db should be good, any plus gives you digital clipping, which is not as forgiving as analogue clipping.

Have fun, and count yourself lucky that you can get to the board
